FOREWORD I have started this study to see the spectrum of Advaita Vedanta – Monism from the Materialistic Monism of Scientists to the Metaphysical Monism of Sankara with all its variations in various religions and sects. I was pleasantly surprised by the identity of Saiva Siddhanta theology with the Christian Theology. Written in Tamil during the early Christian Era it was beyond reach of the world scholars for a long time. It was Reverend George Uglow Pope (1820–1908) who translated Thiruvarutpayan and Thiruvasagam to English. He also completed his translation of Tirukkural on September 1, 1886. It was only after that the world could really understand theology of Saivism. In his last days he was a mature Saiva Siddhanti, with his faith as ever rooted in Christianity and asserted their identity. It became a subject that was taught in the Madurai Seminary since that time. I had my first introduction to Saiva Siddhanta during my visit to the Seminary. I was told about its identity with Jewish and Christian mysticism. It came as no surprise to me when during the International Conference on Early Christianity in India in 2005 held in USA, several scholars presented the theory that Modern Hinduism is an outgrowth of Early Thomas Christianity under Gnostic influence from Aryan people. Elaborating my paper in that conference, I had written several studies. This study is essentially a follow up. I have presented these various monistic, dualistic and pluralistic concepts in parallel to show similarities and differences clearly. It was an exercise I hope those who are interested will be given a boost to look into details. Take it as a starter. M.M.Ninan San Jose, CA November, 2013
MIND, MATTER AND GOD : JIVA, JADA AND ISVARA M.M.NINAN Here are the four basic possibilities: Monism is "the doctrine that there is only one ultimate substance or principle which is eternal, that reality is an organic whole without independent parts." This is the opposite of dualism, which he defines as "the theory that the world is ultimately composed of, or explicable in terms of, two basic entities, both are eternal and separate. “ 1
